Free Member October 2023 Competition

[Tim Mayo]

Congratulations to @Ian S for winning last months competition with his lovely shot of a well trodden path image through a cemetery. Your membership has been upgraded to Site Supporter (Formerly called Pro) for the next 6 months. You can now enter our Site Supporter Monthly Competitions.

With only 2 entries last month I have to say that was a pretty poor turn out! I really hope a few more members will enter this month to make it worthwhile to keep running this competition.

Competition Dates
Entries start: The date that this post is published.
Entries end: October 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting starts: October 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting ends: October 27th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)

There is no theme for this months competition so you are free to submit any image you wish providing it's family friendly!

What Do I Get if I Win?
The first place winner will receive a 6 month Site Supporter Membership to our forum. Please see here for the benefits.

In the event of a draw the entry date will be extended but not past the last day of the month. If there are still equal votes for 1st then each entry will be a winner.

How to Enter + Rules

1. Simply post your entry below (you might need to scroll down). Please insert the image as full-size rather than a thumbnail so that the metadata displays underneath the image.
2. Sony cameras only. Camera metadata must be included in the images to verify.
3. Only submit images taken in 2023. The date must be included in the image metadata.
4. Only one photo entry per member.
5. Keep the photos clean and family friendly.
6. Please don't use sky replacements or AI image generation.

How to Vote (when voting opens)

1. Use the vote button (up arrow) to the right of the post (below post on mobile) to vote up images that you like
2. You can vote on as many images as you like apart from your own

Feedback
I'd really appreciate feedback about how the competition is running but please don't post it in this thread. Instead please post any feedback in this thread in the Feedback Forum.

Thank you for participating and good luck!
